Subject: [PATCH V2 3/4] mm: add a function to differentiate the pages is from DAX device memory

DAX driver hotplug the device memory and move it to memory zone, these
pages will be marked reserved flag, however, some other kernel componet
will misconceive these pages are reserved mmio (ex: we map these dev_dax
or fs_dax pages to kvm for DIMM/NVDIMM backend). Together with the type
MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX, we can use is_dax_page() to differentiate the pages
is DAX device memory or not.
